Meet me at Grand Central

I see this every time I turn onto Park after work around 6pm. The view has only gotten better since it has become fall.

And that is just from the setting sun on the west side of Manhattan hitting it oh so perfectly.

We made peanut butter cookies, 2 apples pies (w/ the apples from upstate...soo many left!), and pizza. Yum!

A New Length

I decided to try something new after almost 6 years of long hair. I got it chopped.




I feel (a little in mourning) but liberated at the same time.

Halloween 2009

Get ready...

Happy Birthday to Me!

Yesterdayy was my 24th birthday. I was feeling pretty down the day before (which I tend to be around my bday) and told myself, I had one day to be sad. Then after, and on my bday, NADA. I told myself to snap out of it and enjoy it!

Well, I did. A lot.

The graphics team treated me to a choice of 2 drinks: coffee & chai in the morning w/ some ultra awesome TimBits. Soo sweet. It was very nice of them! And I was treated to lunch by the girls in design. So Sweet!

I was chomping at the bit to get out of work to go to Apotheke to meet up w/ 3 of my favorite people in the world: Amy, Katie & Tom (Katie L joined us too!).

The time finally came and I got my birthday hat on!





Soo yadda, yadda, yadda. We had a fabulous dinner on Mulberry street in Little Italy.
We were even serenaded by the Italian guy singing That's Amore as per Ms. Katie's request.

And Amy got me a gorgeous chocolate cake w/ Orange Frosting (so fall! she's knows me too well) from Glaser's (a new neighborhood favorite).

After taking the subway, I get home with Amy. That's when I got the BIG surprise.
I noticed my bedroom door was closed and I usually never take the time to fully close my door when I leave for work. Welll....Tom took a half day and met Amy up at our place to blow up balloons that filled my room. It was quick a shock to walk in and see 24 yellow balloons!





It totally SURPRISED me. I even believed his white lie, "Sorry, Lindsey. I didn't have time to get you a present this week."


I'll say. Quite a present all right. :)

Upstate Fall Trip

Yes, I have been slacking with the posts this last week. It's been a little crazy since my parents left last Monday.

Amy and I packed our bags to take a mini 2-day vacation to Upstate New York. It was really great to get away from the city, see the beautiful foliage and take in the season.

Highlights below







Went to Greig Farms in Red Hook, NY (about a 2 hr drive from Manhattan).


Plus, Amy took me to Woodbury Commons on the way home. Let's just say, some major damage was done w/ my wallet. I didn't realize such good stores were there! Got some cute fall finds.


Phoenicia, NY in the Catskills




At Peekamoose Restaurant in Big Indian, NY. We are HUGE fans now. You gotta, I mean you gotta go here if you go upstate!

Tomorrow is my Birthday. The big 24. I am working on my list of 24...to come in the next few hours. xo

Parents Visit

My parents came in to New York two Tuesdays ago and were here for a week.

Amy + I took my mom out to Rosa Mexicano for her birthday which was Oct.4. Happy Birthday Mom!



She seemed to enjoy her cake platter, cake knife & dish towels from Fishs Eddy (Ed especially liked that they were the absorbent kind).






I was able to take a day off and go to the Intrepid Museum with the fam.




The Growler submarine



Waiting in line.



Say hello to the Growler.






The command center in the Growler. Check out the great vintage colors!





On the flight deck of the Intrepid. Sooo windy!!



I was inspired by this sign which has probably seen years and years of wind.





See more pictures of our Intrepid trip here.



Sitting in my favorite part of the M86 bus, the center part that twirls a little bit. Strange, but my feet don't touch the ground while sitting in these seats which makes me feel like a kid again.



Mom + Daughter pictures at Union Square :)





psst. Should I get my hair cut this short (or at least how short it looks in this picture)?
I am thinking about getting a substantial amount cut off when I go in for a haircut this Friday...


See you at Christmas Mom + Ed. xo
